laughing and crying through reality
Why is it so important these days that we don’t hurt anyone’s feelings or offend anyone? Everything is “fair” and everyone gets the same reward regardless of their skills or efforts. We live in such an “everyone gets a trophy” society but is that really reality? We are teaching our kids to be mediocre. There […]
Ok, so I fully support freedom of speech, but I also firmly believe that just because you have the freedom to say something that does not mean that you should. For those of you that know me well, you are probably a bit confused right now because you know that I am a very outspoken […]
I have mini-strokes almost daily when entering the school zone and encountering many of the “fashion” statements that are being executed by our kids.

Most days while my son is at practice I get to chat it up with another mom who is one of my best friends. I love this part of my day because she gets me (which I’m pretty sure a limited number of people do) and she is super smart and logical. I am very […]
So yesterday my kids missed the bus. I have to admit I gave my daughter cold meds before bed and she was out cold so her not hearing her alarm could have been my fault. My son…who knows. He claims his alarm “sometimes” doesn’t go off. Both his grandfather and father could sleep through an […]
9/26/18-This is my very first post so have patience as I get used to getting my thoughts on the page:) I was asked several times today…”How are you?” My true and desired answer to that should have been, ” I feel like a fresh pile of crap lifted by a tornado and dropped into a […]
